It is recommended that the oil
cooler kit be fitted before the thermostat is installed.

1) Select suitable place for fitting the thermostat away from moving parts and
at a place where hoses run parallel.

2) With ignition turned off (high tension lead disconnected), turn engine over
on starter and note which pipe carries the oil supply from the engine.

3) Connect hoses as shown in Fig. 1.

On some cars, especially BMC
front end driven vehicles, the hoses do not run parallel for sufficient length
for the thermostat to be fitted. In these cases the thermostat may be fitted
diagonally as in Fig. 2.

The thermostat is set to send the
oil flow through the cooler at 80 degrees Centigrade.
The "waxstat" which operates the oilstat will suffer permanent damage if
temperatures exceed 140 degrees Centigrade, replacements can be supplied.
